He was born in Doborján, Sopron County, Hungary. His father, Ádám Liszt, clerk to Duke Esterházy, recognized his son's exceptional musical talent early on and seized every opportunity to develop it. At the age of nine, Liszt was already playing the piano in public in Sopron and Bratislava, and soon, with the support of art patrons, he was able to continue his studies in Vienna as a student of Czerny and Salieri. He presented himself in Vienna on December 1, 1822
In 1920/1921, a strip of Hungarian territory was transferred to Austria and Doborján was renamed to Raiding, in the district of Oberpullendorf. Around that period, the strip of transferred land became known as Burgenland.
Liszt became renowned throughout Europe for his great skill as a performer during the 1800s. He is said to have been the most technically advanced and perhaps greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner and Hector Berlioz.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind a huge and diverse body of work, in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some twentieth-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony.

A shout out to the engineers that recorded this. OMG they did an INCREDIBLE job. Large romantic organs like this are a nightmare to record. The huge amplitude swings. Blower and other mech sounds. Divisions spread out all over the place. Amazing job.

On ne fera jamais rien de mieux qu'un accord parfait pleins jeux à l'orgue romantique. Bravo, je ne connaissais pas cette pièce, interprétation magique !

One of the greatest works ever written for the organ and I think this is probably my favourite performance of it. Not least as it is played on the magnificent 1888 Cavaillé-Coll - one of the master's greatest instruments and one of the best organs in the world.

Je rends grâce de vous avoir déniché grâce à YouTube : voilà un orgue qui respire sans se moucher, des mains bien en place qui laissent à l'œuvre toute son expressivité. Merci à vous !

Not my favourite organ composition, but your performance has left me speachless and changed my mind, it was like listeing to something magiical. Not the Liszt that I’’ve been used to but a composer and virtiouso that respected Bach in his own private way and wrote music to respect him, honour him and recognise is brilliant tallent. Bravo to FRANZ LISZT.

Masterful interpretation. One of the best I’ve ever heard…

Wow! This recording makes me wish I still had my old McIntosh amp and Klipsch speakers - and no neighbors. I love the performance and the sound of this organ. Hats off to Mr. DuPont!
